Amenities Available on our 18 Passenger Minibuses in Schenectady
Wi-Fi
Stay connected on the road with free WiFi available on every 18-passenger minibus—perfect for checking email, streaming music, or sharing photos as you head to downtown meetings or campus events at SUNY Schenectady. You can even catch up on work or entertainment while stuck in traffic on I-890!
Onboard Restrooms
Our 18-passenger minibuses include onboard restrooms, making long trips across upstate New York much more comfortable. Skip the rest-stop lines and keep your itinerary on track whether you’re heading to a wedding in Rotterdam or a corporate retreat in Lake George. It’s one less thing to worry about during your journey.
Onboard TVs
Entertainment comes standard thanks to multiple flat-screen TVs mounted throughout the cabin. Bring a DVD or connect a device to screen a movie, slideshow, or training video. It’s a great way to pass the time on longer rides down the Thruway or out to regional destinations like Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
Power Outlets
Every row of seats includes access to power outlets and USB ports so phones, laptops, and tablets stay fully charged from door to door. Nobody will have to fight over battery life before a big presentation or after a day trip to the Times Union Center for a concert or game.
Climate Control with Personal Air Vents
Advanced climate control systems with personal air vents ensure that everyone stays comfortable no matter the season. Riders can adjust airflow to their liking without affecting the entire cabin. It’s ideal for keeping cool during summer festivals or warming up after a winter outing to the Empire State Plaza Holiday Tree Lighting.
Leather Seating
Passengers will appreciate the upgrade to leather-trimmed seating surfaces that look sharp and feel even better. High-back seats provide ample support for longer journeys, while armrests and reclining functions add an extra layer of relaxation. This is executive-level comfort built into a practical package.
Overhead & Undercarriage Storage
Storage won’t be an issue thanks to spacious overhead compartments for carry-on items plus additional room behind the rear seats for larger bags. Groups can bring coolers, backpacks, or presentation materials without cluttering the aisle. Everyone rides together with everything they need close at hand.
